Hear a message on my radio, I get home, I got nowhere to go
Think about ya day and night, I'll be waiting, so when it feels right
Anytime you want at all, anytime, anytime you want, just call
Heart beats faster, lose control, a burnin' fever gets you alone
I need your love, you're the only one
The night is passin', I could soon be gone
So anytime you want at all, anytime
Anytime you want, just...
She's got a certain style in everything she does
She's someone to know, just because, yeah, just because, yeah
Ooh, yeah yeah yeah, come on, be my little baby tonight
She's seen everywhere, looking like Venus too
Emotional suicide, she couldn't give a damn, no, guess she shows
Ooh, yeah yeah yeah, come on, be my little baby tonight
She's got a heart of gold, and nerves of steel
Feels like brok...
Heard that she's back in town, heard she's been seen around
I hear she gets what she wants every time
I know what she puts you through, I know what you'd like to do
'Cos I lost my heart to her some time ago
So come on, wipe your tears away, it's all that you can do
A broken heart never mends, cry your tears till the very end
At home on the boulevard, cheap whisky and tyro cars, man, she's outr...
I looked over my shoulder, straight into your eyes
As you stood in my shadow, in some loud disguise
You were lookin' straight through me, like a piece of glass
Out of step with the fashion, fashions always pass
I've been living on the dark side of the sun
Waiting for something that would never come
Feeling restless and traded, my heartbeat paralyzed
Like some refugee hero, to beat him out ever...
You always give me something to help me understand
Turn those tracks around me one more time
But all you give is killing me, I can't turn around
I'm gettin' loaded on a darker side of town
I don't know who I am on a darker side of town
I came to win some game I played when I was just a boy
I've done too much, have nothing in my life
I understood the rules back then, now I can't decide
I'm gett...
No guardian angel looking down on me tonight
I'm on the streets again, an' I can't tell wrong from right
I'm on the run from love, but I don't know what I'm running for
But it all looks alright, when I'm standing at your door
This could be ecstacy, I've been dreaming of you
This could be reality, tonight, tonight, desperate love
Got no reflection in the mirror anymore
I'm falling backwards, bu...
Storm warning on the radio, flag and banners
Armageddon on the late night show, and like my father before
We've got love on the barricades
Sweet optimists, battle hymns and hitparades
Armageddon cascades, what's my name? Jack of Spades
Outside my window is darkness and rain
And I'm only dreamin', 'til the sun shines again
Got nothing but a uniform, jungle issue, and rules that I will warm
[All...
Thinkin' 'bout you tonight, in a 3-D hotel room in Rome
Chain smoking American cigarettes, and keeping my ears to the phone
Through the blinds to the street my mind wanders
To the nights when I had you alone
Reality becomes science fiction, and my heart's in the warzone
If you won't free me from riding in this rodeo
Juliet loves tonight her vicious Romeo
For your love, I'd give you anything, t...
So you're standing in the darkness, with your back against the wall
And your eyes look kind of distant, then I knew, you'd seen it all
It was then that you betrayed me, 'cos I could see right through your gaze
I guess you and I baby have seen much better days
You used to be so taken with the last isle of the King
Now you find love's everything
You're going to the top, you found somebody specia...
You spin around and turn on me, stop me in my crash
You wanna be somebody else, say you won't be back
Your bourgeois friends call you dear, deal you like a card
Your eyes out for the diamonds now, experienced and scarred
You tell me, gonna be somebody, gonna be okay, gonna be somebody someday
You're moving through a different space, where I don't belong
L.A. guns, gold and silver, superficial ...
You quit the band and got a job, decided to take a wife
Then you stood still, and I went on and almost lost my life
No I don't wanna be in your shoes, and I don't wanna read local news
And though I know we had the same views, who's the fool?
Try 'n keep your head above the waves, try 'n tell yourself that you're safe
I know you do your best to keep faith
So round 'n round we go, it's a shame, ...
Give me something I can touch with my hands
Something I can look at and understand
If you're up there, no don't look down on me
Do something quick, I can't pay the rent
Chorus:
Do you believe in Jesus, is he there?
Is there a God above and does he really care? Oh yeah
Jesus are you there, and do you really care?
I don't believe in nothing no more, can't find the truth, I just need to score
Don...
Ain't it beautiful, don't it make you feel complete
It comes into your life, then sweeps you right off your feet
Time stands still for two lovers, and it's intangible, but it hits like steel
It stops me in my tracks, makes my private world unsealed
I crashed car, in communication failsafe
We can share this vision, in fact we've got no choice
Into the arena of love, speaking with one voice
Ain'...
You used to celebrate it, when I came in at 6 am
Ooh babe, I could never really fake it, 'cos I was in love again
Love don't prove, love don't prove I'm right
Love don't prove, love don't prove I'm right
You used to sing and shout it, showing me what you got
Ooh babe, I could never really doubt it, 'cos baby, you got such a lot
Love don't prove, love don't prove I'm right - no no
Love don't pr...
Love is a rose to me, growin' desperate and I'm desperately
Reliving memories, for love is a rose
And when you look at me, there's no one that I would rather see
You make me feel complete, for love is a rose
Solo
Love is a rose to me, picked and pressed in books of poetry
Young lovers never see that love is a rose, love is a rose to me
----------------------------------------------------------...
I've been watching you now, I've been caught in these hours
Days are turnin' to nights, I live where there's no, no room for strangers
When I see you again, will you still feel the same way?
I understand that in your eyes, I can't do nothing right
All day, all night, make it happen, make me feel alright
All day, all night, make it happen, make me feel alright
Oh, yeah
When I see you walk by, t...
Everytime I think of you, I always catch my breath
And I'm still standing here, and you're miles away
And I'm wonderin' why you left
And there's a storm that's raging through my frozen heart tonight
I hear your name in certain circles, and it always makes me smile
I spend my time thinkin' about you, and it's almost driving me wild
And there's a heart that's breaking down this long distance lin...
I can't play these games with you no more
I get my fingers caught inside your door
Now everything I say is just a joke, spendin' my money now, you leave me broke
Living someone's life in clear blue skies, fairytales and dreams and alibis
All you want from me are things for you, use me till I don't know what to do
You live in your own world anyway, twistin' every single thing I say
In my home t...
Three years come, I'm still alone and you're so lonely
I look in the mirror, I see those lines on my face
All of my dreams are gone, flyin' with the starlings
But they were not stolen gems, coloured glass I can't replace
Chorus:
You've got a restless heart, restless change is blowing through your life
Tears in your eyes, and tears in the books that I've been reading
I don't understand you now,...
I wrote the president, but I got no reply
He claims he tells the truth, he writes it in the sky
The taxman's at the door, though he never seems polite
They've got me cornered, cornered in the light, we could change that overnight
So goodnight to all the world, sleep tight all you boys and girls
I spent some time at school, livin' by the rules
They didn't like me much, hypocrites and fools
Old ...
Come on baby, don't you wanna go? I could take you there
You could get what you want in the south, you could let down your hair
I said do you, don't you, will you, won't you
Baby won't you please let me know
I ain't talkin' 'bout Chicago, I'm talkin' about Mexico
Makin' a run for Mexico, makin' a run for Mexico - could you
Come on baby, 'cos I got to go, the law is after me
I killed a man in a...
Workin' overtime just to keep myself from getting sacked
Well I don't like my job, tell the boss to shove it, I ain't goin' back
Just like Gene Vincent, I'm longin' to prove, I know what I need this time
Me and my girl together, yeah, Saturday night, oh yeah, Saturday night
Lookin' at my watch, tap my fingers, wishin' time would fly
Gonna look so sharp, she and I will turn some heads as we wal...
You've been livin' with your broken heart
I've been trying hard to play the part
But some pretender with an easy smile can tell you it's alright
I ain't got nothin' if you leave me now, just a hypocrite with broken vows
If I could change the way of circumstance, I'd do it just for you
I'm still in love I'm still in love
I'm these days still in love I find, I'm still in love
I've been staring i...
Missin' at school, bustin' the rules, hates everything in sight
Needs some new shoes, dad's on the booze, she's never there
Far away kid, all on his own, can't tell the wrong from right
Thin as a rake, tough as a nail tonight, tonight
Here are your hopes for the future you'll see
If you hang 'round the neck of a loser like me
There's no one else in your life, you don't need anyone
Come with me...
She's just a working girl from Baltimore
She'll choose you, she's been there, she's been there and back again
It's in and out, it's up, it's down, it's a mercenary
And you get what you need when you walk on the streets of paradise
Invoke in the streets, indecision - yeah yeah yeah, white heat in fashion
She'll take you home, she'll take you where you wanna get back to
You're sweet sixteen, but...
When I was young, they took me to the dentist
I had a toothache, but that's okay
They gave me some time, and that night in my bedroom
I worked it loose, like I used to do
One little boy in a dangerous chair
Heard a hundred angels flying past him, what a gas, sitting there
The same little boy with a few more years
Took a sniff of this, a taste of that, what a drag, nothing there
And then one da...
Well you fooled me sayin' livin' ain't fast
Drinkin' cheap champagne, got a second chance
You got a lover and he's 6'5
Ain't he shakin' you up, ain't you glad you're alive
It's a wild life, you're not in my shoes, a wild life
A wild life, I do what I want, a wild life, my life, yeah yeah
I'm still living in a hole in the wall
With a jukebox playing and a heart that's tall
Got no excuses for th...
Give your love away, it's not the way you seem
'Cos someone's just come in your life, and broken up your dreams
Look into my eyes and tell me what you see
And if my eyes are empty, well that's the way I'm meant to be
What I got, who am I, I got the world in a bottle
Whatever I once was is fading fast away
My soul is like a shadow, growing fainter in the day
I've never loved you more, but you f...
